Screaming Bean
Wednesday, June 30, 2004

Wednesday and no having to go to court. We still haven't been called off for the week, I still have to call in tonight, but it's looking like no jury service for Beanie. I'm glad that I went, and glad that it's over. There some question as to how long you're off the hook once you serve, but I know it'll be for a while. If nothing else it gave me a lot of time to read. I've knocked through two books and started a third this week. The first, Hottentot Venus by Barbara Chase-Riboud was a sad but interesting story of a Khoekhoe woman who left South Africa to sail to England in 1810 only to be put on display in a freak show. Her body is not returned to South Africa until 2002. The second, An Embarrassment of Mangoes by Ann Vanderhoof makes we want to drop everything and sail for Grenada. Ann and her husband drop everything and sail for the Carribean for two years. And it's as glorious, romantic and fabulous as it sounds. No Perfect Storm here. The third, which I actually started in court was The Runaway Jury by John Grisham. I thought I had read this before, but it turns out I hadn't. The irony of reading about jury selection while waiting to be selected for a jury was not lost on me. As a result I found parts of the book terribly funny that just shouldn't be funny. I haven't finished it yet though so we'll see how I feel about the rest. Until next time...this is Beanie's book report.
